How to fix encoding error when reading cvs file?

Question

Python

I want to read a file in a loop in python 3:

f = open(name, 'r')

for i in f:
  print(i)

We have:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x8f in position 36: ordinal not in range(128)
How is this solved through codecs?
I read many articles about Unicode, but nothing helps. No one can give an adequate and simple answer to the question.

Answer 1

https://docs.python.org/3.1/library/csv.html

import csv
with open('some.csv', newline='', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)
    for row in reader:
        print(row)

Answer 2

body = body.decode('utf8', 'ignore')
if it doesn't help - cut out the left characters,
you can try to guess the encoding instead of utf8
